A Point of Intersection The name of the first Party Wall Notice that a building owner is expected to serve on all and/or any owners bordering their property is “Notice.” This notification is required to be issued by the building owner and may be found in the first section of the Act. This specific Party Wall Notice discusses two unique types of forthcoming construction projects that are being requested by a building owner. These projects fall under the category of party wall improvements. This refers to the process of building a new wall that either follows in the footsteps of an existing border or is built next to one. To put it another way, a new building might be built either at the line of junction or at the line of juncture depending on the extent to which the boundary wall permits it.

The Notice must to be issued at least two months before the day when the planned construction activities are due to commence. This is a requirement.
Notice of Adjacent Excavation

That is to say, any works that include excavations and are within three metres of any part of the adjoining owner’s land or property and/or any works to construct foundations for a new building or structure that are within six metres of the adjoining owner’s land or property, where any part of the work will meet a line drawn downwards at 45 degrees in the direction of the excavation from the bottom of the adjoining owner’s foundations.
